WHAT DOES JUST NOW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

African time

African time is the perceived cultural tendency, in most parts of Africa, toward a more relaxed attitude to time. This is sometimes used in a pejorative sense, about tardiness in appointments, meetings and events. This also includes the more leisurely, relaxed, and less rigorously-scheduled lifestyle found in African countries, especially as opposed to the more clock-bound pace of daily life in Western countries. As such, it is similar to time orientations in some other non-Western culture regions.

If someone has children, the first thing they want is for them to be happy, and then become someone in life and all that.

The eternal problem.
